This year’s Tri-Cities Wine Society annual meeting was at Bonefish Grill, Sunday, May 17. As promised, President Ted Davis led us through a brief business meeting. Handouts were available summarizing the Society’s finances for its fiscal year, May 1 through April 30, and its monthly programs for the past year and those to come for the remainder of 2015. Mary Binder presented an informative briefing on the new public relations liaison position she has held for the past year. Scott Abernethy, board member and membership chairman, conducted the annual elections. All board members up for re-election chose to continue as board members and were re-elected. One new board member was elected, Bob Carroll. Welcome, Bob! Then it was on to the wine and dinner pairing.
The May EVOE detailed the menu and wine pairing. The food was great and the wines were superb. Nancy Beitel, event co-chairman, introduced the guest speaker, Larry Oates, owner and winemaker of Sleeping Dog Wines. He gave a brief synopsis of each wine and how it came into being. He also had some very interesting stories to accompany each wine and was very responsive to questions from the group.
Thanks to Bonefish Grill for hosting the event, and a special thanks to Tyson Jones, the manager, and his staff for being so accommodating. A very special thanks also to Larry Oates for sharing his wine and stories, including sharing how Sleeping Dog Wines evolved. In all, I believe this year’s annual meeting was a great success.
